Benefice Pastoral Care Team

In the benefice we have a small team, comprising the Vicar, the

two Readers and three Pastoral Assistants, which supports the

key areas of pastoral care on behalf of the Church across our

communi9es. Pastoral Assistants are authorised ministers, who

have undertaken some training in the diocese and are

commissioned for their work in their parishes.

Members of the team are available to visit the elderly and in-

firm, those who are alone, those finding life difficult. They also visit those unable to

a2end

services at one of our churches to give Communion at home. Following significant loss or

bereavement, the team is able to give ongoing support.

If you, or someone you know, would like a visit from one of the pastoral care team,

please contact any member of the team using the details on the back of the magazine.


Welcome to our February Parish News

Dear friends,

Happy New Year! With the double issue

magazine for December and January, it is

only now that I can offer you gree9ngs as we

move into the new ‘twen9es’. What will this

year and the coming decade have in store

for us? Con9nuing challenges and

uncertain9es to be sure!

Poli9cally, it can seem hard to remember

that we had a general elec9on only a few

weeks ago in December. Now we are going

to face the reality of Brexit and the next

phase of the process as we nego9ate new

rela9onships with our European neighbours

and other countries around the world.

Historically, we have just observed

Holocaust Memorial Day on the 75th

anniversary of the libera9on of Auschwitz-

Birkenau. Tragically, the world remains a

gravely violent place. Some years ago, Jean

Vanier, founder of the L'Arche communi9es,

commented that the world faces two major

problems. One is the increasing amount of

violence at every level of society; the other

is the increasing gap between the rich and

the poor (which is, I would suggest, another

form of violence).

Ecologically, there is increasing despera9on

amongst many that we are going to be too

late to address the reality of climate change.

As Glasgow prepares to host the next United

Na9ons Climate Change Conference in

November, will the many pledges and

promises actually start to become reali9es?

As we journeyed through the Christmas

and Epiphany seasons the message that we

reflected on is that the Child whose birth we

celebrate is indeed the Son of God who

came to change the world, to change each

one of us. Jesus is the One whose message

can transform hearts and minds.

Bishop Michael Curry, the Presiding Bishop

of the Episcopal Church, said: “This child

who was born of Mary

changes everything. This child

born in a manger, wrapped in

swaddling clothes changes

how we live. And this Jesus,

born into a world torn by

strife and hatred and division

and pain and poverty, this child is born anew

wherever men and women say, ‘I’ll follow

Him. I’ll follow Him as my Saviour. I’ll follow

Him as my Lord.’”

What does it mean to follow Jesus as

Saviour, as Lord, in a world torn by our

human violence? Surely it must mean that

we commit ourselves to live Jesus-like lives

of love, compassion, goodness, forgiveness,

self-sacrifice. This is the way of beauty that

will change and save the world.

Pope Francis, wri9ng to mark World Peace

Day on 1st

January, warns that con9nued

escala9ng conflicts could lead to the physical

and spiritual death of many people – “if not

of all”. He appeals for a new style of poli9cs

that will build peace through “crea9ve non-

violence”. He writes: “I ask God to help all of

us to cul9vate non-violence in our most

personal thoughts and values. May charity

and non-violence govern how we treat each

other as individuals, within society and in

interna9onal life.”

At the end of February, on Wednesday 26th

,

we observe Ash Wednesday, the start of

Lent. Our focus turns from the Crib to the

Cross as we begin the period of six weeks

when we reflect deeply on the mystery of

our Lord’s death and resurrec9on. Lent is

9me to open our hearts and our minds so

that God may speak to us afresh of God’s

love and forgiveness for us, for all

humankind and for the whole of crea9on.

As we journey on in faith and trust, I wish

you peace and every blessing.

Robin Figg, Vicar

News from our churches

The Season of Lent

Lent begins with Ash Wednesday on Wednesday 26th February. This is one of the

Principal Feasts in the church calendar and everyone is encouraged to

a2end a service on this day. There will be a Eucharist with Imposi9on of

Ashes at St John’s, Yealand at 9.15am and at St Oswald’s, Warton at

7.30pm.

Lent is a 9me for prayerful reflec9on on the meaning of our Lord’s

Passion. As part of your Lenten discipline why not take part in one or

more of the following ac9vi9es?

Quiet Day at Hyning Monastery on Saturday 7th March, from 10am un9l 3.30pm.

The theme of the day will be ‘Making space for God in Lent’ and will

include two talks by Sister Michaela, the Eucharist and periods of

silence. The cost will be £20 with a cooked lunch or £16 with own

packed lunch. Look out for more informa9on and details of how to

book.

Sta+ons of the Cross. Each of the sta9ons stands for an event that

occurred during Jesus' Passion and death at Calvary on Good Friday. The

service lasts 30 minutes and will take place each Saturday at 9.30am in St

Oswald’s, Warton. All are encouraged to experience this service at least

once during Lent.

Lent Course—Superstar. We will using a 5-session course wri2en by David Wilbourne,

former Assistant Bishop of Llandaff. FiZy years ago Apollo 13 limped back to earth and

Jesus Christ Superstar took the West End by storm. These events raise important

ques9ons about faith and our world which will be explored during the course. It is hoped

that three groups will meet each week; see page 8 for further details.

A book for Lent. Why not commit to taking 9me each day for some devo9onal reading

as we journey through Lent. Here are just three recommenda9ons.

Saying Yes to Life (The Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent Book) by Ruth Valerio.

Valerio works as Global Advocacy and Influencing Director for Tearfund. In this book

she eaves together her prac9cal and theological wisdom in ways that will genuinely

resource the Church.

Walking the Way of the Cross: Prayers and reflec#ons on the biblical Sta#ons of the

Cross by Stephen Co@rell, Paula Gooder and Philip North. This is an innova9ve

approach to the Sta9ons. For each Sta9on there are three short reflec9ons from

complementary angles. (Church House Publishing £9.99)

You Are Mine: Daily Bible readings from Ash Wednesday to Easter Day The BRF Lent

Book) by David Walker. The Bishop of Manchester invites us to join him in the

inves9ga9on of Chris9an belonging; he offers a wise, humane and generous spirituality.

(BRF £8.99)

Junior Church Lent Challenge

Many people give things up for Lent, as a form of fas9ng. We invite you to join us in

turning that idea on its head. Instead of giving something up, we will be giving to those

for whom fas9ng is not a choice but oZen a reality.

Each Sunday in Lent, we are aiming to give an item per family to be donated to

Morecambe Bay Foodbank. To ensure that those dona9ons are appropriate, we will be

contac9ng the foodbank each week to ask what they need. These items will be listed in

the pew sheet and collected the following Sunday.

Dona9ons can either be brought to church on Sunday or leZ in the box in the vicarage

porch during the week. They will be delivered to the foodbank at the beginning of each

week so that they can be used straight away.

Anyone across the Benefice who would like to join us in this challenge would be very

welcome. Please keep an eye open for more informa9on in the pew sheets.


The next Archdeacon of Lancaster

The Venerable David Picken The next Archdeacon of Lancaster, The Venerable David Picken,

joins our Diocese officially on 4th February. Un9l recently, David has

been Archdeacon of Newark in the Diocese of Southwell and

No5ngham. He succeeds the Venerable Michael Everi2, who leZ the

Diocese last summer to become Canon Pastor of Durham Cathedral.

David was born in Hednesford, Staffordshire in 1963 and was

educated locally. In 1984 he graduated with a BA Hons in English Literature and Religious

Studies from London.

The following year David completed a PGCE (teaching qualifica9on) and married Cathy,

also a teacher. AZer a short teaching career David went to Lincoln Theological College to

study for the ordained priesthood.

Speaking about his appointment, David said, “I will be sharing in the work on missional

growth in churches in the diocese; in par9cular with children and young people. I will

also work very closely with the schools in the diocese and will be the Chair of the

Diocesan Board of Educa9on, a role I have fulfilled la2erly here. Taken together, these

are opportuni9es I simply could not resist.”

Speaking about the Diocesan Vision 2026 Healthy Churches Transforming Communi9es

he said: “The Vision provides clear priori9es, through making disciples, being witnesses

and growing leaders for Jesus Christ. I look forward to working with colleagues on the

Bishop’s Leadership Team, and clergy and laity from across the Diocese, to further Vision

2026 work.”

Archdeacon David added: “I am looking forward to ge5ng to know people in parishes

across the County. We have family connec9ons in Lancashire and I’ve been a lifelong fan

of the County Cricket Club. My childhood hero was Clive Lloyd, LCCC and West Indies

Captain.” David also enjoys football and is a Manchester United supporter, but takes a

keen interest in Mansfield Town FC as well.



St Mary’s, Borwick & Priest Hu@on

Lent course — Superstars

The course booklet is wri2en by David Wilbourne who studied Natural

Sciences and Theology at Cambridge. David has been a vicar and

published six books. Having worked with three Archbishops of York, he

went on to serve as Assistant Bishop of Llandaff.

“It’s 1970 – Edward Heath becomes PM, Apollo 13 limps back to earth,

and Jesus Christ Superstar takes the West End by storm, asking daring

ques-ons that gave colour to my former monochrome faith and fired my voca-on. Half a

century on, its message remains just as relevant, and we explore themes from its iconic

lyrics in the 5 sessions of this course”.

Session 1. Who is Jesus? Session 2. Miracles Session 3. The Psalms

Session 4. The Church Session 5. Cross Purposes

Three groups are planned to meet each week as follows:

Tuesdays 10.30am-12noon at the Church Hall, Warton from 3rd March;

Wednesdays 12noon-1.30pm at St Mary’s, Borwick from 4th March (bring a sandwich,

drinks provide);

Fridays 7.15-8.45pm at 63 Hazelmount Drive, Millhead from 6th March.

Please book a place by contac9ng the Vicar (details on back page) or sign the list available

in each of the churches. A minimum of five par9cipants is needed for a group to run.

Faith Matters

This is an informal monthly discussion group with the aim of providing space to explore

the relevance of faith to contemporary issues. The group meets on the 2nd

Tuesday

(usually) of each month at St Mary’s, Borwick. Refreshments are served from 10.45am

and the shared conversa9on begins at 11.00am and we finish at 12 noon. The issues

being discussed in the coming months are:

~~ All are welcome ~~


St Mary’s, Borwick & Priest Hu@on

St Mary’s 123 - Realising the vision for St Mary’s

It is with great pleasure that we can report the

comple9on of the works at St Mary’s. With

sincere thanks to the main contractors, JT

Construc9on, to the hea9ng engineers, Chris

Bowker, to our architects, HPA Architects, and

others, for all their hard work.

Appropriately, the first service back in the

reordered church building was the Christmas

Day Eucharist, when we rejoiced in the good news of God’s love shown to the world in

Jesus and we delighted in our fellowship as local Chris9ans enjoying the warmth and

space of our new-look building.

The challenge now

facing the District

Church Council, as

well as the local people and others, is to explore how to

make the best use of the enhanced facili9es at St Mary’s;

as a place of worship, peace and spirituality, as well as a

place for fellowship and community ac9vity.

We are delighted that the Bishop of Blackburn will be

coming on Sunday 29th March at 6.00pm for a special

service during which he will dedicate the new facili9es.

We look forward to seeing the church full for this special

occasion; all are very welcome.

Any one who would like to know more or who has any

specific ques9ons is invited to contact Joyce Tombs (on

07768 930070) or the Vicar.

Chari+es supported by St John’s Every year St John’s supports up to three chari9es, usually one local, one na9onal and

one interna9onal. You are invited to nominate the chari9es to be supported this year

either by pu5ng details on the list at the back of church or by email to sally-

[email protected]. The PCC would like to focus on smaller and less well-known

chari9es and has decided that those supported last year (Bri9sh Red Cross/Indonesia

Earthquake and Tsunami Appeal, the NSPCC and CancerCare) are not eligible for support

this year without just cause. The PCC will shortlist the sugges9ons at their mee9ng on

February 18 and everyone who a2ends services will be asked to vote to choose the final

three.

Chris+ngle making Saturday 1st February, 10.00-11.30am On Saturday February 1st at St. John’s Church between 10am and 11:30am, Mini Church

will be making Chris9ngles for the Chris9ngle service on Sunday February 2nd.

Please come along and join us in making Chris9ngles. There will be refreshments of tea,

coffee, juice, cakes and biscuits.



St Oswald’s Churchyard—keeping it neat and +dy

In previous magazines we outlined the proposed new policy as agreed by the Warton

PCC for the maintenance of St Oswald’s churchyard with par9cular regard to the

placing of flowers and ornaments at the graves. As these ar9cles explained, the

Parochial Church Council discussed the upkeep of the churchyard in response to a

range of comments made from families who have rela9ves buried in the churchyard,

from general visitors to the churchyard and from those who spend many hours

voluntarily looking aZer the upkeep of the churchyard.

In response to the ar9cles a number of comments were received, some suppor9ng

the proposed new policy and some asking ques9ons about it. The PCC duly discussed

the situa9on again at its mee9ng in November and agreed to amend the proposed

policy such that one bunch/spray of either real or ar9ficial flowers will be permi2ed to

be placed at a grave either in the flower holder within the base of the headstone or in

a small fluted vase which the PCC will provide. With regard to the la2er point the

inten9on is to have box near the waste bins just beyond the church door in which there

will be a supply of vases.

The PCC affirmed its decision that the following will not be permi2ed in the

churchyard:

i. Chippings, pebbles or similar materials and free-standing vases or pots;

ii. Mementoes, windmills, toys or li2le animals, solar lamps or similar;

The PCC agreed that wreaths brought to the funeral may be placed at a grave aZer

the service, but must be removed when the blossoms wither. Remembrance Day

poppies and Christmas wreaths may also be placed at a grave, but these are to be

removed aZer a period of not more than four weeks.

The inten9on of the PCC is always to balance the wishes of families with graves in the

churchyard with the Diocesan Churchyard Regula9ons and the needs of those who look

aZer the churchyard, ensuring that the churchyard can con9nue to be maintained to a

high standard.

If you have any ques9ons about this please contact the Churchwarden, Sue Hopwood,

01524 720160, or the Vicar, Robin Figg, 01524 732946 or [email protected]

From our Schools

INSPIRE a love of learning in God’s world.

through awe and wonder for God’s world we will inspire a true love for learning,

crea+vity, curiosity and imagina+on. Through independent thought and a passion for

the lives of others we will work with our community to care and consider all,

following in the teachings of Christ.

Life at Yealand CE Primary School con9nues to flourish and the children are always out

and about in the local community. Last term Robin Class (Recep9on & KS1) were climbing

at Salt Ayre and it was Swallow Class (KS2) turn for Forest School. All children took part in

the annual Film Fes9val which supported their learning in school.

The school had 2 nomina9ons for the Lancaster & Morecambe Educa9on Awards:

Primary School Pupil of the Year and Educa9on Support award. I am pleased to announce

that Mrs Asquith was awarded Educa9on Support of the Year, we are all very proud of

her achievement.

This term construc9on of the school’s new forest site will begin, with the installa9on of a

canopy and sea9ng area, along with a fire pit and storage shed. This is a very exci9ng

addi9on for the school and will enable the site to be used without having to transport

equipment back and forward. The work is in keeping with the AONB but will enable the

site to be used even when the trees are bare and the rain is falling! I will be pos9ng

pictures of the site once complete on the schools Facebook.

Please keep a look out for events and addi9onal news displayed on the school website

and Facebook.

I appreciate this is now the February edi9on of the Parish News however we would like

to wish you a Happy New Year from all the pupils and staff at Yealand.
